I must admit I'm a bit of a tech junkie. I like computers and TVs. My second ever job was working on the help desk of a major ISP. I was staff writer on New Zealand MacGuide Magazine for its first year of publication. My first computer was an Amstrad CPC464 (colour display, tape drive) in 1985, and I have never looked back.
Which means getting a new computer is a major event. Not just because of the cost involved, but because it's a new piece of kit and – because that's the whole idea – a significant upgrade from what I already have.
On New Year's Eve, I took delivery of a 13″ MacBook Pro with retina display, replacing my 11″ MacBook Air. The Air wasn't that old, but after about two years of continual use I found it just a fraction to small to work on comfortably.
I've also lusted after the retina displays since they were announced by Apple, at a suitably ferocious price point, but it wasn't until the latest update to the MacBook Pro range that the 13″ model came within my budget.
So, after a week or more or use, what's it been like?
Actually, pretty darned great. In fact, more than that – this is the best piece of computer kit I've ever used. Apple's laptop line have immaculate build quality, being carved out of a single lump of aluminium (well, two lumps – lid and base). The design is minimal, elegant and beautiful. There is nothing in the design that is out of place – I recall with horror a high-end, creaky plastic Lenovo laptop I once had for a week on a work trip, and I can still remember the row of 24 different coloured lights that ran under the screen, notifying me of various uninteresting functions (Wow, the hard drive is being accessed? I should hope so! Say, I'm plugged into the mains power? I was wondering what that big cable was!) that actually woke me up in the middle of the night in my pitch-black hotel room.
But forget all that (and I'm sure some PC laptops are pretty nice too). The killer feature of this Macbook Pro is the retina display. It is wonderful. So good, in fact, it has basically spoiled me for anything else.
According to the tech specs, the retina display is a 13.3-inch LED-backlit display with IPS technology, with a native resolution of 2560 x 1600, running at 227 pixels per inch. It uses supersampled pixel doubling to produce a 1280 x 800 display, making everything pin sharp. Individual pixels cannot be seen, even with your nose against the display, giving a computer experience that is really pretty amazing. Mac OS X has ultra smooth rendering anyway, thanks to the Quartz graphics layer of the operating system (one bugbear I have with Windows – which I actually really like [there's a big PC gaming rig sitting behind me as I type this] is that its rendering is spectacularly awful). On the retina display, the results are incredible. It's the same tech used on the iPad and iPhone – the Macbook Pro's screen is as clear and sharp as those devices.
This gives rise to two problems.
Firstly, after using a retina display constantly for more than a week, every other computer display looks terrible. Even my 27″ Thunderbolt display, which runs at 2560 x 1440, looks fuzzy.
Secondly, a lot of the internet is low res – text and 2D design is fine, as these are rendered by the OS. But images are a problem. Because the retina display uses pixel doubling, any image is really displayed at twice the size. Take any image on a computer and blow it up to 200%, and it looks bad.
It is easy to fix – websites just need to use images at twice the regular resolution, then scale them down. I spent a couple of hours working my way through my own site to address this, swapping out all my book covers for double-sized versions, hacking the fixed-size slider on the front page to accept larger images which WordPress then scales to fit. Now my site looks sharp whether viewed on a retina display or a regular one. There are other way of doing it – there are plugins and code that can be used to detect the display and render either the regular images or the high-res, retina-ready ones.
High-density displays like Apple's retina ones are still in the minority, but they're only going to increase in use over time. It makes sense, then, to future-proof your own site to ensure that all visitors get the best experience. And it doesn't take too long.
If anyone has been looking at the retina Macbook Pros, I can heartily recommend them – even if the internet still has a little catching up to do.

I love to travel, so when I was asked by Thom and Emma to travel to Australia to photograph their wedding I could barely contain my excitement! Thom was a top friend & flat mate at university so I had a dual role as also being a Groomsmen so I do appear in one of the photos (thanks Josh for bravely stepping up to shoot that one, no pressure!).
The wedding took place at the incredible Depot Beach (http://www.depotbeachaccommodation.com/), where thick rainforest surrounds a long but thin sandy beach. The original plan was to have the wedding on the beach, but unfortunately, monsoon like rain put a stop to this and the service took place under a canopy by one of the apartments. Fortunately years working as a Pembrokeshire wedding photographer meant I was more than ready to produce photos in the difficult conditions!
Instead of formal attire, Thom & his groomsmen wore their own navy waistcoat, trouser and shoe combinations. Emma wore a dress designed and made by her friend Alice, who was working hard on it even the night before the wedding. The service was very intimate in the small makeshift shelter which had been beautifully decorated at the last minute! A mix of some incredibly friendly & fun British and Australian guests led to an informal & relaxed reception on outdoor tables (under more shelter) followed by a party in one of the apartments which went well on into the night.
The next day the clouds gave way to brilliant Australian sunshine, so Thom & Emma redressed in their wedding clothes for an impromptu photoshoot on the beach. These photos will be in the next blog post.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Thom & Emma for inviting me to be part of this amazing experience, and all the rest of the family & friends for their welcome, hospitality and cracking banter!

The adage "show 'em, don't tell 'em" is the same as saying a picture is worth a thousand words. According to industry pro Cliff Goldmacher, images are the most efficient and powerful ways to communicate your verse message. In this online songwriting video, Cliff gives examples of how to show your listener with images instead of telling them with descriptions.
- Rule number four.…Show 'em, don't tell 'em.…Honestly, the single most efficient and powerful way…to communicate in your lyric is to use images.…A picture truly is worth a thousand words.…For example,…you could either describe someone in your song…as a sexy woman who is kind of evil,…or you could describe her as…a black heart in a green dress.…I think you get my point.…
Really, really showing people images…does so much of a better job than just describing.…In our song example,…one of the things that we try to do in this particular song…was use those kinds of images to really tell a story.…So why don't we give that a listen now?…- ♪ And the one thing that I know for sure ♪…♪ is it's time for ♪…♪ a better, a better color than blue ♪…♪ This is me, Baby, closing that door ♪…- So by using expressions like "a better color than blue"…or "closing the door" what we're trying to do…in this particular lyric is really situate the listener…so that they understand what the singer is singing about…by using these kinds of images.…
- Writing lyrics that are conversational and natural
- Making every line count
- Putting your song's hook at the end of a chorus
- Creating simple and unique melodies
- Keeping song intros short and longer verses at the beginning of a song

A small town in Southern Ontario is doing what the Cleveland Indians refuse to do. The Alvinston baseball association is dropping the nickname "Indians" and the laughing, red-faced logo that accompanies it. There doing this in an effort to show respect for Indigenous people.
Alvinston is not the first team to part ways with their indigenous nickname. At one point close to 3,000 teams across North America had a name relating to native people, but that number has fallen to under 1,000 today.
Even though the number is on the decline, many people think there are still too many with inappropriate names. Many Canadians feel that every team from the Pros to Pee Wee, needs to follow the path of the Alvinston Baseball Association.
There's been plenty of controversy surrounding many professional and amateur sports teams regarding indigenous team names. Many fans of the Washington Redskins, or Atlanta Braves have expressed their displeasure to the idea of their team changing names.
But in Alvinston, the baseball association says that the reaction they've received from this decision has been overwhelmingly positive.

Telkom, the state-owned (and still monopoly) phone company is one of my favourite crowds to rag on. They make it so easy!
The phone is sort-of-dead this morning. Loud crackling noises; people unable to call in - the phone bleeps briefly and the caller gets cut off; crossed line with neighbours down the road. The problem has been the subject of numerous fault callouts over the past 6 or 8 months, and has never been solved.
Tried several times to log the fault by phone. First had to discover that, because it is a DSL line, the fault must be reported to a different call-centre whose phone number utterly fails to appear on any documentation. Several attempts to call needed, because I keep getting disconnected from the call-centre mid-conversation due to the fault.
Inspiration: At least the DSL is still working, so let's see if I can log the fault via Telkom's website! Fill in the relevant details on the fault-reporting page; click "Submit".
OnlineFaultReporting web exception
We appologise for the inconvenience,
but the page that you requested can not be processed correctly. Please report this to the system administrator.
Copied from the Telkom website: misspellings all their own.
But! There's no "Contact the webmaster" link to be found on their website. Oh well, back to trying to phone the fault in.
Please, God, give these buggers some real competition and put them out of business soon.

Tea Party Patriots –
As we continue to watch the disastrous roll out of Obamacare, it would be easy for us to say that we have been warning about this for the last 4 years. It would be easy for us to say that we had a major impact in the fight for Congress to stop implementation of the law by not wasting any taxpayer money on what was clearly shaping up to be a train wreck – with fierce opposition from both political parties. We could say that we did all of this with the intent to protect the America from the disasters of Obamacare. And it would all be true.
However, right now is not the time for pointing fingers and "we told you so." Right now is time to go back to the drawing board and undo this mess before it continues to do harm to the American people. That's why we are laying out our guidelines for real health care reform.
The first step is full repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Then any new attempt at health care reform needs to include principles that promote health care freedom for all.
Real Health Care Reform would meet the following criteria:
- CONSTITUTIONAL: Real health care reform will be constitutional and protect all Americans' rights.
- COMPREHENSIBLE: Real health care reform will be comprehensible, clear, and simple for everyone to understand.
- DEBT-FREE: Real health care reform will not add to the national debt.
- RELATIONSHIPS: Real health care reform will enhance the doctor-patient relationship.
- FREE MARKET: Real health care reform will draw on the strengths of the free market by encouraging innovation and competition.
- PRIVACY: Real health care reform will minimize the role of the federal government in the health care sector.
- CHARITY: Real health care reform will incorporate opportunities for the private sector to provide charitable solutions.
- CHOICE: Real health care reform will increase consumer choice.
- TRANSPARENCY: Real health care reform will increase transparency.
Congress isn't leading the way on this, so it is time for the American people to step up and guide us to health care freedom. Join in on the conversation byletting us know what Real Health Care Reform looks like to you.

9ff tunes the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio
9ff tunes the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio, 9ff Turbo TRC 91The 9ff tunes the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio has 910hp at 910Nm, takes only 3.10 seconds from 0 to 100km/h and offers a top speed of 392km/h made possible by the modified double-clutch gearbox that goes with it. In the form of a convertible, with unbelievable 780hp resulting in 381km/h, it holds the absolute world record since October 2006.
9ff Turbo TRC 91 - A supercar polished up
9ff tunes the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio - More air for everythingThanks to the modified racing front grill, the engine is provided with more air while the brake cooling has been improved by - discrete - additional air intakes. A boot lid made of carbon allows a maximum weight reduction to 1,300 kg.Optimum performance is brought to perfection through revised aerodynamics enhancing the powerful Porsches driving stability while creating an atmosphere of even more dynamic elegance. The monstrous inner workings, however, do not reveal themselves that easily to a layperson. The experts at 9ff confined themselves to a slightly lower front apron and elegant 20-inch wheels with a larger braking system. New and shapely front spoilers, side skirts and redesigned rear wings add to the aerodynamic kit while the elegant and aerodynamically enhanced exterior mirrors are the crowning glory of the whole.To sum it up, the 9ff Turbo TRC 91 was made for those among us who are real gentlemen - it is a decent horsepower werewolf.

Former newsreader Anna Ford's solicitors have served notice on the Press Complaints Commission that they have applied for a judicial review of its decision not to uphold her complaint against the Daily Mail and OK! magazine for invading her privacy – even though the application is out of time.
The PCC made its ruling on 7 December. Normally any application for a review would have had to be in by 7 March.
Ford was pictured on a beach in Majorca with her new partner, former astronaut David Scott. She believed the beach to have been private – which it was not – and that she would be protected by the Editors' Code of Practice clause on reasonable expectation of privacy.
The PCC said that, while it had a degree of sympathy for the complainants, the photographs were innocuous and of the sort regularly taken of well-known people in public places.
"They neither intruded into their privacy nor left the complainants open to ridicule," decided the Commission.
Stephen Grosz, a partner in Bindmans, Ford's solicitors, told Press Gazette: "The court has got the discretion to let in applications after the three-month period."
Notice of the application for the late hearing was served on the PCC, the Daily Mail and OK! on Monday and they have 21 days in which to acknowledge service of the claim and to put in any defence. The solicitors are basing their claim for the right to a late hearing on the fact that, although the Commission ruled on 7 December, its ruling was not published until late January.
Then, said Grosz, a judge would look at the application.
The PCC has faced a judicial review once before, from Moors murderer Ian Brady. The Appeal Court threw out his bid saying the Commision's decision had been the right one .
There has been no legal argument to date over whether PCC rulings should be subject to judicial review.
Commission director Guy Black told Press Gazette: "If they get leave, as in the Brady case, we will fight on the merits of our decision."

Because things don't always work out the way you thought they would - both in life & in the kitchen...
Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose... (Tuesdays with Dorie BwJ: Cardinal Slice)
The only thing Cardinal about my dessert was the one that may have been needed to say a prayer for it once I realized that I left out a key ingredient in my lady finger batter.
It was going along swimmingly up until that point.
I had researched the recipe and had a plan. Since I knew that meringue and foam batters were a nemesis of mine (and this recipe required both to be baked into alternating strips - at the same time), I was going to do whatever I could to be successful.
I woke up early on Sunday morning to beat the humidity.
I pre-measured all the ingredients and had them at the correct temperature.
I made the burnt caramel/espresso syrup.
Precut my parchment strips.
Had piping bags and tips ready.
My meringue came out looking great and piped out beautifully.
The ladyfinger batter was a bit runny, but I figured it was just me... So I piped it out anyway. I placed the pans in the oven, turned around and immediately saw the bowl with the flour still sitting on the counter.
The best made plans of mice and men, and all that.
At that point, there wasn't much to be done but forge ahead and make the best of it. Heck, with all those eggs and sugar it couldn't be all bad, right?
Fortunately, there was enough structure in the meringue stripes to keep this from becoming a total loss. Once the whipped cream was sandwiched between the meringue layers, the dessert looked less disastrous.
At this point, I had a house showing in less than two hours that I needed to start cleaning for, so I tossed it all in the freezer and crossed my fingers.
When it came time to serve the dessert, I threw some macerated strawberries (with a little Triple-Sec thrown in for good luck) on top of the slice and topped it with the espresso flavored whipped cream. I decided that the fact that the dessert was supposed to be three inches taller could remain the cook's secret... All's fair in love and baking, right?
Closing thoughts:
1) I enjoyed the process of this dessert. I will probably never (ever) attempt to make it again, but I am glad I tried it.
2) Mise en place only works if you use it...
3) Strawberries and whipped cream can save almost anything.
This post participates in Tuesdays with Dorie. A version of this classic Viennese show stopper can be found here. I appreciated the journey that one man took to perfect this dessert.

Well bravo for the effort for sure! Sorry it wasn't a huge success but it sounds like you made it work in the end!!ReplyDelete
I didn't even attempt this one so kudos to you for giving it a go! When I read about the troubles and realized that it was way too humid here to even hope for success, I gave up before I even started. I am glad it worked out okay for you, and YES, whipped cream and strawberries fix everything!ReplyDelete
having gone through the house selling process, I can understand why the flour was still sitting on the counter! if you never make the cake again, that's okay but the caramel...it would be a shame to never try that again!ReplyDelete
Ha! Mis en place can be overrated! Glad it still tasted great! Too much trouble for it not to.ReplyDelete
It looks delicious, regardless! Looking forward to Saturday here too.ReplyDelete
drat! but yes, strawberries and cream made this tast anyway, I'm sure.ReplyDelete
yes. strawberries and cream can save anything! :) I have made many a disastrous cake and just covered it with strawberries and cream in the end.ReplyDelete
Hi - Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear from you!
Due to the high number of weirdo SPAM comments I have been receiving, I have turned comment moderation back on for the time being... Comments may show a slight delay.

Len Goodman fears death
- Bang Showbiz
- 4 December 2016
Len Goodman quit 'Strictly Come Dancing' because he was worried he was going to die soon
Len Goodman thinks he's going to die in nine years' time.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge has admitted he's decided to leave his head position on the ballroom and latin show because he's worried he'll keel over at 79 - just like his dad.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, he said: "That's only seven years away from my age now, and although I hope to live until I'm 99, I need to have more me-time...
"All my friends are in Portugal playing golf and saying, 'Len, do you want to come with us?' and I have to say, 'No, I've got to go and do 'Strictly Come Dancing'."
And, although viewers are convinced the popular BBC One programme will go down hill once Len leaves next week, the former dancer believes the show will go on forever providing bosses manage to snap up the best selection of celebrities.
He said: "As long as they keep getting interesting celebrities to go on it, it'll go on for ever and ever!"
Len has sat on the panel since the show started in 2004 but announced he was stepping down prior to the current series because he was struggling to split his time between the UK and the US, where he films 'Dancing With the Stars'.
Bosses are still on the hunt for a judge to take Len's place but it's believed Karen Hardy - who was employed as a professional dancer on the programme from 2005 until 2008 - is the only one to have had discussions with the bosses.
She told BANG Showbiz: "Let's say, there's been rumblings going around. If an email comes in, I won't say no."

Wound is a painful affair. And a wound that doesn't heal is dreadful. Since recent years research on a quick healing of wounds is under the limelight. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could posses a technology that might heal our wound in a jiffy just like my favorite X-man character "wolverine"? This sounds impossible, but a recent wound healing technology is somewhat closer!
A super cool injectible hydrogel that helps skin wounds heal more quickly has been developed by researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. The material creates an instant scaffold that allows new tissue to latch on and grow within the cavities formed between linked spheres of gel.
The skin wounds should be kept moist because wet wounds heal much faster than dry wounds. To accomplish this doctors often use topically applied hydrogel dressings or films, to seal over or cap the wound and provide moisture. In other cases, ointments are used to fill in the wound, much like filling a pothole with new asphalt. However, none of these materials provide an optimal scaffold to allow new tissue to grow as they degrade. As a result, the new tissue growth is relatively slow and fragile.
This new technology overcomes this disadvantage. The packed cluster of microscopic synthetic polymer spheres creates a scaffold of microporous annealed particles (MAP) that fills in the wound. New tissue quickly grows into the voids between the microspheres, and as the spheres degrade into the body, a matrix of newly grown tissue is left where the wound once was. New tissue continues growing until the wound is completely healed.
Dino Di Carlo, one of the investigators in the study said, "Achieving a biomaterial that promotes rapid regeneration while maintaining structural support has been a holy grail in the field of tissue engineering".
This holy grail surely raises hopes! May all your wounds heal!

R&B star The Weeknd has landed a second week atop the albums chart with Beauty Behind The Madness.
The singer scored second-week sales of 145,000 units, which was more than enough to overcome a charge from rockers Five Finger Death Punch, who debut Got Your Six at number two on the Billboard 200 with 119,000 copies.
The rest of the top five were also new entries - Rihanna's rumoured new boyfriend, rapper Travis Scott, opens at three with Rodeo, while veteran rockers Iron Maiden snag fourth place with The Book of Souls and Troye Sivan lands at five with Wild.

TRENTON -- Island Beach State Park in Ocean County will have extended swimming and lifeguard service throughout September for beach visitors enjoying the last weeks of summer.
Lifeguards will be on duty after Labor Day at Swimming Area 1 beaches from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. September 1-4, and every Friday, Saturday and Sunday thereafter through October 1. Swimming Areas 1 and 2, and the Southern Swim Area (Fisherman's Walkway/Tice's Shoal) will be open on these dates.
Since many municipally-operated beaches have reduced lifeguard operations in place following Labor Day weekend, the Department of Environmental Protection and National Weather Service are urging the public to be cautious and swim only at lifeguarded beaches during the remaining weeks of summer. Swimming is not permitted at state parks unless lifeguards are on duty.
"DEP continues lifeguard service after Labor Day weekend at Island Beach State Park because many visitors continue to enjoy swimming when crowds are smaller at our beaches and the weather is still warm," said State Parks and Forestry Director Mark Texel. "Our lifeguards do a great job protecting swimmers at the Jersey Shore, and we will continue to protect our beaches during weekends throughout September."
As a reminder, rip currents are the leading cause of ocean drownings across the nation, and beach visitors are encouraged to follow these safety tips during their visits to the Jersey Shore:
Read and heed signs at beaches warning about the dangers of rip currents, which do not pull people under water -- they pull people away from shore. Drowning deaths occur when people pulled offshore are unable to keep themselves afloat and swim to shore. This may be due to any combination of fear, panic, exhaustion or lack of swimming skills.
If you are caught in a rip current, stay calm and swim parallel to the beach until you are out of the current.
Once you are free, turn and swim toward shore. If you can't make it to the shore, draw attention to yourself by waving and calling for help.
If you see someone in trouble in a rip current, get help from a lifeguard. If a lifeguard is not available, have someone call 9-1-1. Rip currents can be stronger than the strongest swimmer. Throw the victim something that floats, such as a lifejacket, raft, cooler or inflatable ball and stay on shore and in contact with that person until help arrives. Do not become a victim of the rip current yourself.
Lastly, no matter the surf conditions, swim only in lifeguarded areas. Lifeguards at Island Beach State Park recently made a last-second rescue of a swimmer who had decided to swim in an unguarded area and began to struggle. Only a call to State Park Police by a nearby observer and the quick response of park lifeguards prevented a tragedy.
For more information on Island Beach State Park, including any park advisories that may be posted, visit www.nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/island.html.

Before we got to shooting however, they took me with them to the Sfinx Mundial festival so I could get to know them first. Interesting things happend with music, sun and children.

Captain Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat first on a very flat wicket and was on the front foot from the word go. Williamson made 100 off 97 balls with the help of eight fours and three sixes, while Luke Ronchi scored a quick 65 off 43 balls up the order to set the base for New Zealand's total of 291 all out in a rain-curtailed affair between the Trans- Tasman rivals at Edegbaston.
But Murray took the on-court microphone afterwards to voice his support for those impacted by the tragic events in Britain. "Actually I'm very bad with the memories (smiling)". "Looks like one of the top four guys" is going to end up grasping the champion's Coupe des Mousquetaires, seven-time major titlist John McEnroe observed.
Dan Straily is holding opponents to a.195 batting average this season - fourth lowest among NL pitchers (minimum 10 games started) - including a.169 opponent average with no one on base, which is best in the NL. Butler fanned four and walked one. Butler's 66-pitch start was his best since a six-inning scoreless start in St. Louis in his Cub debut. "It's huge", Butler said.
James was equally spectacular with his own triple-double of 29 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds, but yet again didn't get almost enough help to keep up with the Warriors' depth. He underwent a procedure at Duke University in early May to help alleviate some pain. Kevin Durant is growing a little exhausted of questions about his ability to play defense.
Serbia's Novak Djokovic plays a shot in his fourth round match against Spain's Albert Ramos-Vinolas at the French Open tennis tournament Sunday at the Roland Garros stadium, in Paris, France. Wawrinka, meanwhile, is 11-2 against quarterfinal opponent No. 7 Marin Cilic , who was leading 6-3, 3-0 when Kevin Anderson stopped because of an injured left hamstring.
Philippine Sports Institute (PSI) Mindanao coordinator Marlon Malbog, is also rooting for the Warriors in Game 3, saying: "Despite the Cavs' homecourt edge, Durant and Curry are too dominant with their offense". "He's been around, the last couple weeks especially, giving us input and giving us what he's got", Curry said of Kerr. Then again, Cleveland lost the first two games of last year's Finals by a combined 48 points.
Swashbuckling Australian batsman David Warner on Monday added another feather in his cap by becoming the fastest Aussie batsman to complete 4,000 ODI runs. Eoin Morgan was threatening another good hand, after his unbeaten half-century at The Oval, but got a thin edge on a wide one up the wicket to Anderson to go like Roy for 13.
In advance of picking up his check for winning Sunday's Indianapolis 500 , Takuma Sato spoke with 24-Hour News 8. Sato was presented the winner's check at the Indianapolis 500 Victory Celebration Monday night at the J.W. As is customary, a portion of his winnings will go to his Andretti Autosport team. Alonso was given a standing ovation as he walked past his auto. His victory should come with open arms, not closed fists.
A pair of Packers fans, Chad and Mike Johnson tweeted at House , saying they'd give him a ride of Green Bay . Once the trio made it to Green Bay's Austin Straubel International Airport, where House's vehicle was parked, House offered an incredible gesture of gratitude: a tour of the locker room, photographs and autographed memorabilia.
At the French Open on Saturday, Murray was asked by a reporter why he appeared to repeatedly be shushing himself during a three-set victory over Juan Martin del Potro in the third round. Murray prevailed in that meeting making history by defending his gold medal before del Potro gained a measure of revenge outdueling Murray in a four-hour epic in the Davis Cup semifinals last September as he carried Argentina to its first Davis Cup championship in history.
The incident took place on the night of an global friendly match between Macedonia and Turkey . According to reports cited on The Independent , Turan , 30, confronted Milliyet's Bilal Mese ahead of take-off on Monday over an article the journalist had written about pay disputes at UEFA Euro 2016.
Never far from the heart of the action as he became a first team regular, Chris Hughton describes Tiote as having been "The flawless and essential midfield player". Tiote was capped 52 times by Ivory Coast and was in their squads for both the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. The midfielder started his career in Belgium with Anderlecht and also represented Twente and Roda JC in the Netherlands, as well as making 52 worldwide appearances for Ivory Coast.
Kroenke doubled down on that statement of intent, saying: "Our ambition is to win the Premier League and other major trophies in Europe". The Granada manager said that he can understand the fans' frustration and admits he doesn't see the club heading in the right direction in the coming years.
Johnson is still fighting for immediate eligibility. The departure of ACC Player of the Year Justin Jackson creates a potential role for Johnson. Johnson visited the Tar Heels last week. Dr. Irrgang wrote this decision was based on,"the combination of your academic achievement of graduating Summa Cum Laude within three years of your initial full time enrollment and the exceptional service that you have provided to the community during your tenure at Pitt".
He wants to set an example for the youth in Oakland. Lynch displayed a burst of speed going through a gaping hole and then spinning around a player who appears to be safety Reggie Nelson before a fake celebratory leap into the end zone. But the newest Raiders running back spoke Tuesday and explained why he chose to come out of retirement after taking more than a year off. "I got a whole Oakland behind me", Lynch continued.
Almost a year since he sat at the same podium inside Oracle Arena and addressed Muhammad Ali's impact as an activist following the heavyweight champion's death, James discussed the daily challenges of being black in the U.S. James said the incident made him think of the mother of Emmett Till , a 14-year-old African-American brutally murdered in MS in 1955, who gave her son an open casket because "she wanted to show the world what her son went through as far as a hate crime and being black in ...
Wednesday police released the dashcam video of Woods going through the sobriety test. The footage shows Woods confused about where he is and struggling to follow directions. Woods' arraignment in Palm Beach County court is scheduled for July 5. The officer asks him what medications he had been taking; Woods' answer is muted.
Baltimore is also 21-7 in Tillman's last 28 Sunday starts and 13-4 in Tillman's last 17 starts with four days' rest. Benintendi then gave the team some breathing room with another homer in the seventh, and added even more insurance with an RBI single in the ninth.
I'm also lucky to be part of this club and with this squad. Zinedine Zidane's charges thrashed Juventus 4-1 in the Champions League final on Saturday to become the first team to successfully defend the title. "We are very confident and the plan is to win more". Real Madrid deserved to win in the second half. "What an incredible scene, the stadium is incredible and the city did an immaculate job in hosting such a great event", the Welshman, who picked up his third Champions League ...
The orchestral " Quadrophenia " will feature vocals by Billy Idol - the rocker behind 1980s hits such as "White Wedding" and "Eyes Without a Face" - as well as tenor Alfie Boe , known for starring in the musical " Les Miserables ". A portion of proceeds from the L.A. gig will benefit Teen Cancer America . Pete Townshend , shown performing with The Who in 2015, will bring " Classic Quadrophenia " to the US for a limited run this summer, beginning September 2 at Tanglewood.
We know how hard it is to be the best team in the league. "We just have to sustain effort over the entire game". In Game 2 , the Warriors got 30-point games from two starters, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry , a 20-point game from another, Klay Thompson , and double-digit games from reserves Shaun Livingston and Ian Clark.
The gloves are off now (with Happ), he'll be good to go, and I think he'll get back to what he was". Ten of his 13 homers have come at the Coliseum. "He jokes about that, but I was seriously playing wall ball with myself in Houston", Healy said, chuckling.
Twelve of those wins have come by double digits, including a plus-41 total margin in the two wins over Cleveland . That would seem to indicate changes could be coming in Game 3 , be they a switch in the starting lineup - Iman Shumpert for the invisible Smith would seem most likely - and/or style of play .
Recently, a plethora of fighters have begun to speak up and voice their displeasure with the behavior of the UFC and the treatment they have received from the UFC, which was purchased for by talent agency WME-IMG for a record-setting $4.2 billion past year.
Earlier losing the toss, England batsmen came out to bat first and scored a 300 plus total, boasting on contributions made by Alex Hales (56), Joe Root (64) and Jos Butler's unbeaten 61. Jake Ball and Adil Rashid picked up two wickets apiece as Kane Williamson was the only Kiwi batsman to offer some resistance. Ben Stokes proved a huge threat with 48 off 53, including four fours and two sixes, before looping an uppercut nearly straight to Milne at third man.
There was no pregame guarantee this time, but P.K. Subban and the Nashville Predators followed up their dominant Game 3 victory with a 4-1 triumph over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 4 of the 2017 Stanley Cup Final . "We capitalized on errors and Pek's was there for us when they had their chances", said Ellis. Viktor Arvidsson's goal on an odd-man rush with 6:25 remaining in the second period gave Nashville a 3-1 edge.
Scott raced from 1961-73 in the Cup Series, Willy T. Ribbs compted in three Cup races in 1986 and Bill Lester raced sporadically from 1999 until 2007 at all three national levels. Wallace will try to continue that legacy at Pocono, where he's raced just once before - a 16th-place finish in 2016. In Sunday's race at Pocono, he'll try to get everything out of the No.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr showed he's inherited his dad's famous fancy footwork with a goal worthy of winning the UEFA Champions League after Saturday's final between Real Madrid and Juventus in Cardiff. 1, but Madrid is De Gea's home city and his long-term girlfriend still lives in the Spanish capital, so if, or when, Real come calling, it will take a huge effort on United's part to keep him.
It's very important for me to be in the quarter-finals one more time", he said. Toni Nadal is succinct about those who watch tennis at Roland Garros . Williams, the 10th seed, fought back from 5-1 down to take the opening set against Bacsinszky. Nadal, who turned 31 on Saturday, equals the mark for Roland Garros last-eight appearances held by Roger Federer.
Of those injured, three are in critical condition, including a seven-year-old child called Kelvin who was revived at the scene. "Yeah, I have signed a long term contract at Madrid", he said . "It was an incredible feeling to lift that trophy here". In doing so, he reached 600 career goals with plenty more surely to come. 'I always try to do my best for the team and things are going well.
Last year, Cleveland rallied to win last year's series in seven games. "His defense was fantastic, and we needed (it)", Kerr said of Durant , whose feat matched that of Hakeem Olajuwon in 1986 and Tim Duncan in 2003. "The game is too fresh. We get a chance to go home now to our home crowd where we play well, also". "You can talk like 15-0 or whatever he did, but the team was just falling apart at the seams, and so I just had to get back to make sure we righted the ship", Kerr said ...
According to Sky Sports , Antoine Griezmann will most likely not end up at Manchester United in this transfer window. The France worldwide had been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United having previously rated his chances of joining the club as " six out of 10 ".
After 34 years as an NHL General Manager and the last 19 with the Nashville Predators, David Poile is finally taking a minute to smell the roses. He appeared in six consecutive All-Star games between 1969 and 1974 and briefly served as head coach of the Blackhawks for the final 46 games of the 1976-77 season.
The biggest diplomatic crisis in the Persian Gulf region since the 1991 US-led war against Iraq pits several nations against Qatar, which is home to some 10,000 American troops and a major United States military base. Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates announced yesterday they would cut diplomatic ties . Some even questioned the Gulf nation's ability to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup if the diplomatic isolation continues.
After Rihanna wisely sledged Kevin Durant from her courtside seats in game one, restricting him to 38 points, he completed game two with 33 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and three steals. "It was 2-0 previous year, we lost". "We turned the ball over too much in the first half". It's hard to not overreact when a team has been so thoroughly dominated in every facet of the game as Cleveland has, but even with Kyrie and Love healthy (to start the series at least), this Cavs ...
For much of these playoffs, it seemed that one of Golden State's "Splash Brothers" couldn't hit the ocean with his jump shot. "We have to figure out a way to get him going early". In Cleveland's 113-91 loss in Game 1, Thompson and Smith combined to make one basket, and the Cavs got 25 percent shooting outside of James and Irving.
One person to voice his opinion on the Seahawks not signing Kaepernick was former National Football League tight end Shannon Sharpe, who said on FOX Sports 1's "Undisputed" that Carroll was "being disingenuous" by saying that he believes Kaepernick is a starter in the National Football League and then not bringing him on board.
The fourth seed will meet compatriot Pablo Carreno Busta , through to his first Slam quarter-final, for spot in the last four after the latter stunned Canada's Milos Raonic. Eighth seed Kei Nishikori looked in trouble against young Korean Chung Hyeon when rain stopped play on Saturday, but recovered to win in five sets.
Hulking but ineffective villain LeBron James seemed to get a little testy after the game, declining to conduct the typical press conference at a podium and instead just taking questions in the locker room. The story goes, according to Haynes, that the two dropped the track back in the summer of 2011 when the pair was working out together in Akron. "They play well at home", Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said.
In both instances the Champion team was ranked No. 2 in state coaches poll. McIlroy pulled out of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and concerns about his participation in Wisconsin heightened when he failed to play in last week's Memorial Tournament in Ohio.
The Cavs began to turn things around last year after being outscored by 48 points in the first two losses in Oakland - seven more than this year. After losing to Golden State in the 2015 finals, Cleveland bested a mostly homegrown Warriors team a year ago and reclaimed James' dominance over the league.
Steve Smith's side were all set for a comfortable victory over Bangladesh before the typically English summer intervened leaving Eoin Morgan's men, who face New Zealand in Cardiff tomorrow, in the box seat to qualify from Group A . It was the flawless practice match, except this time it was for points, and they were going to collect them all after only a small chase against an underwhelmed Bangladesh who had already stopped using catching fielders and seemed to be hoping just to slow ...
Unsurprisingly, David Warner and Quinton de Kock are the two openers after their impressive performances since the start of 2016 where the pair are the two leading run-getters with over 3,000 runs between them. In case you didn't know. . Batsmen to watch out for It is his sixth Champions Trophy tournament appearance, and when in form, he is a treat to watch.
Hello. Add your message here. They went on to force a tiebreak in the first set, where Kuznetsova took the initiative at 5-1, while Zhang won three points in a row to bounce back. Bacsinszky nearly dropped her serve but held on and won the match when Mladenovic hit a forehand wide. Caroline Wozniacki has finally put all the pieces of the puzzle together for her best chances at winning a grand slam , but will she do it? Nadal is a nine-time champion at Roland Garros.
Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has admitted he "prayed" for Arsene Wenger to quit after the FA Cup final and warned his now-extended tenure as manager could "end in tears". "He has a fantastic track record and has our full backing". While the Frenchman has guided his teams to Champions League qualification in every season since 1997/98, this year they finished fifth, meaning they will play in the Europa League instead.
She thought it was a good opportunity to "introduce" the girl to the snake without her getting hurt. The Facebook video has since been removed and local authorities are investigating the incident. "They just think that I hurt my child intentionally, which, the people that know me know that I would never hurt my children". The woman said she learned how to handle reptiles at a young age by helping her father, a police officer, when he responded to animal service calls.
Bale made just 17 league starts for Madrid in 2016-17 after undergoing ankle surgery late previous year. It was therefore not a surprise to see him on the bench against Juventus as Zidane gave a starting spot to the Spaniard Isco . "Maybe we played the best second half in all the season, against a very good team who defends really focused and that has very good players in the attack", Cristiano said about the final .
Next, Murray will face eighth seed Nishikori, who recovered from a disastrous first set to beat Spaniard Fernando Verdasco . After breaking Khachanov again at the start of the second, Murray's forehand briefly went AWOL as he lost his serve for the first time, allowing the Russian to draw level at 3-3.
Hamilton told Sky Sports News HQ at the Spanish GP he expected Ferrari to employ a team hierarchy in his battle with Vettel for the Drivers' Championship and, after seeing how the battle at the front played out in Monaco , he reckons they are now clearly behind Vettel .
You can analyze all aspects of the game and it might be just as simple of Durant providing so much for the Warriors on both ends of the floor. And you could even say the Cavs played better in this year's Game 2. But that is just how dominant both men have been, showing exactly why they have combined to win the league's past three MVP awards. Tristan Thompson again had a brutal game and the 3-point shot that was the Cavs' calling card all season failed them.

This promotional postcard was created for Jeff for the VH-1 TV series Celebracadabra. The biggest challenge with this project was creating a style that would incorporate the existing Celebracadabra logo. I only had a flattened version of the logo on its background, so we opted for a retro look with a 50s style television set to stress the idea that it was a television show.
This packaging was created for Jeffs Inside McBride: Behind the Scenes of the Magic & Mystery School DVD. The overall concept was to create packaging that would express the "behind the scenes" feel of the content of the DVD. I created a silhouette of Jeff and incorporated the Magic & Mystery School logo in a subtle way, and used gold and brown tones to convey a feeling of ancient mysticism.
This postcard was created to advertise one of Jeffs master classes, the Magic & Medicine Conference. The conference focuses on the combination of performance magic and healing arts, thus the curtained stage with the caduceus arising from the top hat.
Jeff needed a postcard to advertise his World Tour schedule, as well as his Las Vegas show, the Wonderground. The challenge with this project was to emphasize the most important information (Jeff's World Tour, and the Las Vegas show), in addition to listing his extensive complete tour schedule. I created a 6" by 11" postcard that was large enough to contain all the necessary information, but small enough to be mailed for a reasonable cost.

Jeff Aronson insists that you'll miss the best fight of 2014 if you don't tune-in to the CBS Sports Network tonight.
"I think you may have the 'fight of the year' [Friday] night between Desmond Green and Steven Siler," the Titan Fighting Championships chief executive officer tells Breitbart Sports. "You have two guys who literally can't stand each other."
Aronson calls nine-fight UFC veteran Siler a guy you have to "kill to get out of the cage." He points out that Green, who had to cut locks from his copious dreads to make the 145-pound limit, just "annihilated" former WEC featherweight champion Miguel Torres in 46 seconds.
Fans find out tonight whether Green suffers from a Samson complex or if he makes Siler suffer for forcing him to drop part of a half pound through not the sauna but the scissors.
Big action, rather than big names, plays as the main ingredient in Titan FC's success. "I've never referred to Titan as a feeder league," the CEO explains. "It's the ultimate fan and fighter appreciation league."
But the sport's appreciation, at least in terms of pay-per-view buys at the top level, endures a fallow period. Aronson points to Titan FC's growth as a point of light. "I think that everybody is putting their heads down," he maintains. "If you don't put on the best shows possible and you dilute, people are going to tune out. Put on the best shows possible, and people will watch."
Aronson believes he has such a show in tonight's Lowell, Massachusetts, card, which also features Olympic judoka Rick Hawn against submission specialist Carlo Prater. And he's naturally bullish on elite fighters, and corporations, flocking to the Titan FC banner.
"My phone is ringing off the hook," he says in response to the UFC's recent decision to institute a ban in 2015 on sponsors appearing on fighter gear. Theoretically, an influx of undercard UFC fighters denied separate sponsorship money through the promotion's exclusive deal with Reebok might benefit Titan FC. But Aronson sees the Reebok deal as pushing sponsors rather than fighters his way.
"There are a lot of businesses that if they can't advertise on a national platform, their business dwindles down dramatically," he points out. "With Titan, we're on CBS Sports. Besides UFC, we have the second or third biggest platform. A lot of companies are running in our direction to create their growth."
Despite the success of Titan, Bellator, and the World Series of Fighting in securing cable-television deals, he believes the UFC reigns for now and the immediate future as the unchallenged industry leader. "UFC champion," Aronson concedes, is the answer you hear when you query dojo warriors and gym rats with the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
And Aronson has seen a former UFC champion fight on a Titan FC card. He thinks that viewers tuning-in to CBS Sports Network Friday night will see a future UFC champion in action.
"Should Desmond Green be able to impose his will on Steven Siler," Titan's honcho contends, "I think Desmond Green will be ranked as one of the top featherweights in the world."
And if Green hadn't chopped off a few feathers from his head to make weight Thursday night, he might not be a featherweight at all. The preliminary bouts from Tsongas Arena start at 7 p.m. Eastern on CBSSports.com and the main card commences at 9 p.m. on the CBS Sports Network. Breitbart Sports brings readers a live recap of the action Friday night.

TRENTON, N.J. — U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg is calling for an investigation into the cancellation of the underwater rail tunnel linking New Jersey and New York City.
Lautenberg says he wants more information about the role state Transportation Commissioner James Simpson played and whether he violated state ethics laws by participating in the process.
Simpson oversaw work on the tunnel while he was the head of the Federal Transit Administration under President George W. Bush.
Simpson officially recused himself on Oct. 5, two days before Gov. Chris Christie first announced that he was canceling the nation's largest infrastructure project then under way.
Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak says the administration is confident Simpson's actions do not conflict with state ethics laws.

Alumni Highlight: Kelly Nix
Tell us a little about yourself. What are you currently working on?
I work in a variety of areas. I am employed full-time as Field Content Manager for Children International, a non-profit child sponsorship organization with a presence in 11 countries in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. I have also been a pastor for many years, and I serve as adjunct assistant professor for Hope International University. Besides these regular activities, I offer leadership seminars and provide consulting in strategic planning. Another activity is that I founded a Bible college several years ago that functions via a combination of online course delivery and live weekly lectures by conference call. I currently serve as the director and one of the instructors.
As an educator yourself, how do you see the future of education progressing?
The direction of education, not only in America but around the world, has irreversibly changed in the past decade or so due to the advent of online education. I believe we will see the role of brick-and-mortar institutions decline, while the role of solid, accredited online schools will increase. Online education is a solid business model that offers many advantages over traditional course delivery – advantages that include virtual elimination of campus overhead, the ability to use adjunct faculty instead of tenured professors, the ability for students to participate asynchronously from around the world, etc. While I don't see traditional schools disappearing (at least not for quite some time still), I believe the validity and importance of online education is fast becoming undeniable.
What made you decide to further your education?
A number of factors contributed to my decision to further my education. I felt that I needed a doctorate to really fulfill my desire to teach at the university level. It would also provide an important credential for consulting work. Additionally, I felt a professional doctorate in Global Business and Leadership would add value to my performance within my organization, Children International.
Who was the greatest influence on this decision?
My inspiration to pursue a doctorate started when I was only 8 or 9 years old. We had a neighbor who was an agricultural researcher, and I remember my mother admonishing us sternly to call him "Doctor" out of respect, because he had worked very hard to earn that title. That instilled in my young mind a very high regard for advanced education. Initially, life did not seem to hold much hope for me in that area, but in my 30s I was able to return to school and complete an MBA. Since I had come that far – and particularly because my employer was willing to invest in my education – there really seemed no excuse for not pushing ahead and turning my childhood dream into reality. And it really helped that I had a mentor at a previous school who helped me believe I could do it…that meant enough to me that I included her in the dedication of my doctoral capstone project.
How was your doctoral capstone experience like at CALUNIVERSITY?
I'll confess I was a bit weary by the time I reached my final course prior to the capstone! I entered the class thinking it would be an easy course…more of a formality. However, Dr. Jenny Wong brought me back to reality! All of my professors expected high-quality work, which greatly enhanced my regard for the rigor of CALUNIVERSITY's programs. My current students, however, would probably be happier if I had not had such thorough professors as my example! Once I began the capstone, it took me a little while to realize that the playing field had changed. No longer was I going to be given step-by-step instructions; it was now up to me to take the initiative and prove I was capable of performing at a doctoral level. Once I understood this, I was able to forge ahead and complete the project. My capstone committee was available when I needed guidance, but it was very much up to me to get the job done. The greatest moment of all came at the conclusion of the oral defense, when Dr. Inserto observed that from that moment forward they would address me as "Dr. Nix." It was one of those moments where you almost need to pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming.
What are your future plans? How are you working to fulfill your future goals?
Plans for the near future include expanding my consulting and leadership training activities, as well as writing a book or two. I also hope to expand my activities in teaching, perhaps by gaining extra courses to teach at my current school or finding additional schools to teach for on an adjunct basis.
Any advice for people thinking of furthering their education?
To those who are considering furthering their education…DO IT. Don't put it off. Every day that you wait is a day later that you will achieve your goal. Don't allow yourself to make excuses…age, finances, time, or anything else. We routinely make time and find money for the things that are truly important for us, so make it happen. Don't sit on your porch 20 years from now and think, "What if I had…?"
Any words of wisdom for current CALUNIVERSITY students?
If you are currently a student of California Intercontinental University, you are ultimately the only person who can make your venture a success. There is no substitute for discipline, study, commitment, and hard work. When you feel yourself becoming discouraged, go to CALUNIVERSITY's website and watch the videos of past years' graduations. If they did it, you can do it. And if you're running into obstacles, talk to your mentors at CALUNIVERSITY about it early on, so you don't end up dropping out from frustration. Chances are they'll be able to help you work through it and continue with your dream.

PB-1 piping systems are specified for District Energy networks because of their flexibility, thermal efficiency and life expectancy at high temperatures of up to 95°C.
What is District Energy?
District Energy systems supply hot water or steam for heating, and chilled water for cooling public buildings and facilities, apartment blocks, office complexes and similar structures from a central plant source.
The hot or chilled water is distributed in insulated piping systems which are installed underground. In many European cities, large district energy networks are in operation, transporting heating or cooling over many kilometres with minimum thermal loss to consumers.
The key advantage of centrally produced heat (via water or steam) is that environmentally friendly sources can be used and combined. The major part is sourced from caloric power plants using the waste heat from electric power production. This is called co-generation. Electricity and heat produced at the same time doubles the efficiency rating compared to single electrical plants from 40% to over 80%. Other important sources are the heat from waste incineration plants, industrial processes and increasingly from green energy sources such as biomass, biogas, geothermal and solar.
Another kind of District Energy is the central supply of heating for schools and universities, hotel resorts, airports or shopping centres. This is called Group Heating.
District Energy (also known as District Heating & Cooling) has been used for community heating for almost 100 years in Europe. Until 1980, only steel systems with insulation were installed, mainly in concrete ducts. Pre-insulated systems were introduced in 1974, but they still used steel pipes that had one main problem – corrosion. There was an incentive therefore for energy suppliers all over the world to search for non-corrosive solutions.
Pre-insulated piping systems
Pre-insulated PB-1 piping systems are a key component of District Energy. Using advanced production technology, pre-insulated pipes are made from environmentally friendly materials and fully recyclable grades from the Polyolefin material family. These materials include Polybutene-1 internal pipe, flexible, closed cell polyolefin foam and the flexible high density polyethylene outer cover.
PB-1 for District Energy
PB-1 has the highest pressure rating compared to PE-X and PP, low heat loss, and best in class chemical resistance, particularly for aggressive geothermal water.
The premium systems choice for District Energy
- Large diameters for both underground and internal installation
- High vapour resistance
- Heat loss of less than 1°C per km.
- High flexibility with small/medium diameters shipped and laid using coils
- Long lengths reduce connections
- Combines with weldable fitting systems
- Low weight for efficient logistics and handling
- No corrosion or problems with scale buildup
- Excellent chemical resistance particularly for aggressive geothermal water
- Long-term performance up to a maximum service temperature of 95°C, with the highest pressure rating compared to PE-X and PP.
Comprehensive systems of pre-insulated pipes and weldable fittings available for the full spectrum of requirements.
University Testing
University result: "After 8 years in service, PB-1 pipe samples were stronger than new PB-1 pipes due to the tempering and annealing process over that period."
University testing for the optimum inner pipe
An energy company based in Austria was one of the pioneers who investigated alternative solutions and instructed the Plastics Institute of the University of Leoben to carry out a testing program to find the best solutions for District Energy networks.
University results
The results for the inner pipe were clear: Polybutene-1 was the best plastic material for high temperatures (max. 95°C).
This result encouraged the Austrian energy company to undertake a joint venture with a pipe manufacturing company to produce and market pre-insulated piping systems with Polybutene-1 inner pipes.
Case Studies
Austrian District Energy network
Following those studies, 42 networks utilising 210 km of pipe have so far been installed in Austria. 70 km of pipe were installed prior to 1987. These networks were so called "secondary networks" which were supplied from primary lines by means of central transformer stations with heat exchangers to reduce temperatures to max. 90°C and pressure to 5 bar.
After 8 years in operation random samples of these Polybutene-1 pipes were sent to Austrian test institutes to compare the operational pipes with new ones. The amazing result was that the used pipes turned out to be even stronger than the new Polybutene-1 pipes – the tempering and annealing process on the pipes during service over the first eight years having a positive effect on the pipes.
Geothermal Centre – Vienna
The very aggressive geothermal water in Vienna caused big problems with corrosion in metal pipes. As a result, in 1972 when the new Geothermal Centre in Vienna was being planned, a 2 year test cycle was undertaken with various pipes made of stainless steel, PVC-C, epoxy and Polybutene-1.
Polybutene-1 proved to be the best material and was subsequently installed for all geothermal lines from the source to the geothermal centre, with a 225 mm OD twin main line of 1.4 km, and some 2 km of internal pipes in sizes 20 mm to 225 mm OD. These pipes operated continuously for over 30 years (until the facility was expanded) at 54°C and 10 bar with no breakdown.
Examples On-site
Polybutene is not sold by PBPSA members for use in pipe applications intended for use in North America, and those parties require their customers or distributors not to sell products made from Polybutene into pipe applications for North America.

Personal Injury Law and You
Are you needing a personal injury attorney? Maryland tort law can be very complicated, and in case you were injured because of someone else's neglect, it's essential to acquire professional legal counsel whenever possible.
A Brief History of Torts
The thought that an injured party ought to be paid by the party responsible for said harm is not anything new, and actually might be among the most ancient of legal theories. By way of instance, the earliest known written legislation, the Code of Ur-Nammu, has many laws saying that one individual who causes an injury to another individual must pay a specific quantity of silver into the injured party.
Throughout the early Middle Ages, Old Germanic legislation permitted an injured party to bring a complaint prior to a counselor of village elders; when this celebration could demonstrate that his injury or loss was due to the individual so accused the latter was needed to pay an amount of silver or gold into the victim.
This amount varied based on the character of the harm and the sufferer's position in the society. To hire an experienced personal injury lawyer click here.
Torts Today
Personal injury law is a remarkably extensive location. A Few of the regions covered by torts include:
- Intentional: Deliberate attack or acts of imposing emotional/psychological distress
- Home: Trespass, theft of private property or harm to the identical
- Dignitary: Slander, libel, harm to a person's standing
- Economic: Fraud, reduction as a result of fiscal strategies, etc..
- Negligence: Failure to stop an accident by conducting "duty of care"
- Injury: Injury because of faulty or poisonous product
As you can see, there's an overlap with criminal law, such as attack and theft. But in such situations, it's imperative to file criminal charges against the perpetrator with law enforcement. In such scenarios. Many sufferers pursue a civil lawsuit instead.
